Venezuela grassroots councils attend first Communal Parliament
VENEZUELA’S grassroots activists stepped into power as the first National Communal Parliament was inaugurated on Tuesday.
National Assembly president Diosdado Cabello presided as the self-administering communal councils encouraged and financed by late revolutionary leader Hugo Chavez came together for the first time.
The decision to hold the parliament in the National Assembly premises showed that President Nicolas Maduro and the Bolivarian revolutionary forces would not fold in the face of inclement election results last week.
